Freshman Stanley Johnson and the Arizona Wildcats are the top seed in this week’s Pac-12 Conference Tournament. (Getty)
The Pac-12 was certainly top-heavy this year, as only 4 teams – Arizona, Utah, Oregon and UCLA – had a winning percentage of over .500.
The Wildcats, Utes and Ducks are NCAA Tournament-bound, while the Bruins might have some work to do considering their 19-12 record.
As for the rest of the conference? Their resumes aren’t too impressive and will almost certainly need to win the tournament and the automatic bid to get to the Big Dance.
